I have a fun idea for a challenge. Could y’all please catch eight Pokemon of your choice that all have random abilities. Both of you also get to pick out the move sets after catching the Pokemon. Once you both acquire teams, read off each of your team members’ Pokedex entries. If the one being read to correctly identifies a Pokemon entry, he gets the option to force a trade without knowing the moveset of the identified Pokemon. The player who gets the identity correct is also able to pick out a custom ability for the traded Pokemon. Sabotaging some of your own team members is legal. Let’s say that the two leftover Pokemon with easy Pokédex entries are physical attackers like Machamp. You can rigg the entire moveset to be special or support moves. The Pokemon can’t be pseudo legends, legends, paradox, ultra beast, mythical or, starters to make it a bit more challenging.
Hey Shady hope everything is going well with you and your family. After watching this video I think a 3 way cagelock with you Rich and Vinny would be great content for the fans. I feel like the energy and personality each of you guys brings really meshes well together. I could see possibly a black and white two or X and Y would love to see it in the near future. Have a wonderful day man.
My challenge idea is choose your opponents starter based off pokemon spin-off’s Pokédex entries (pokemon XD, gales of darkness, etc.) and only use abilities from those kind of games, if the ability doesn’t exist in the mainline pokemon game, substitute for something like that and add a twist at the last 3, you choose your own pokemon but it has to have some kind move/ability that makes it “weaker” in some way
Yo if your worried about head thing switch to ear piece headphones.... Over top headphones known to make worse... All humans have especially babies. Suppose to close up.
This is so much better when you know rich didn’t want to ask shady about recording he said it in a live stream not long ago like he wasn’t sure if it was okay to ask and I’m so glad he took the step to make this content
@@Blastopia We all start somewhere. I can see where you're coming from, but personally I like watching someone go through the process of learning something new with their peers/friends acting as mentors. Makes for a nice training arc, and the payoff when they finally attain a new level of mastery is really rewarding. I think Shady and Rich have nice chemistry too!
@@Blastopia Him being so new to pokemon is what makes his appearances so entertaining imo lmao Plus, he just has a nice personality and good sense of humor. I love watching videos with Rich
@@Blastopia The same was said for Vinny when he first started appearing in these videos, Vinny was pretty notoriously awful when he first started coming into the 'then we fight' battles but has gotten really good and actually gives everyone a run for their money, although it's very apparent with Shady and Rich since i would say that Shady and Don are the two best players in the group of "then we fight" players. Rich will get there, i'm sure.
I checked via Pokemon Showdown. Banette learns Icy Wind, and no other ice moves, and then no ground moves at all. Shady realized this, hence that moment.
Rich rocking up with Levitate, Sap Sipper, Flash Fire and Water Absorb is absolutely nuts, and three of those actually turn weaknesses into immunities. You actually can't script that
This might not work as an idea but it just popped into my head now. Would it work if you both picked starters as normal but you swap the abilities with your opponent? So if someone got Miraidon and the other got Slaking, you’d swap Hadron engine with truant and have a Miraidon with truant and a Slaking with Hadron engine. If you get a broken Pokémon you may end up giving a broken ability etc. Great video as always too! 🔥
This is an incredible debut on the channel, great battles. And honestly I always love to see hazards in Then We Fights because the hatred they induce is so much fun when we have both the battlers talking to each other
I also thought Darkrai was a ghost type, mainly because my first pokemon game was mystery dungeon... All ghosts can walk through walls and Darkrai as well :c
One of my friends did some streaming during lockdown, he was doing a HG/SS soul link with another friend. Mans got a Darkrai and killed it with a Bug move: he thought it was a *NORMAL* type... Since then we've called it Normalrai. He will never be allowed to forget it.
@OtisCluck It does, but it also sounds like the name of some guy from Accounting. Normalrai is a Pokemon Norm Rai works a 9-5 at the IRS, only drinks unsweetened decaf tea - no more than 2 cups a day, and goes to bed at 9:30pm sharp (10pm on weekends).
I don’t comment often, but I gotta say if you’re a casual viewer, click the subscribe for everyone that’s in this pokemon group, they are the funniest people, and if you don’t subscribe the dad with the dent, whatcha doing.
TO BE FAIR When I first saw the Raise of Darkrai movie, I thought he was a ghost type. He should be dark-ghost tbh. Anyway, super happy to see Rich on the channel. I love his energy 😂
Heres another twist on the idea. Opponent sees your pokemon, one he leaves as it is, and two others swap their types. Then yore able to chose based on type, and not knowing actual pokemon. If you chose the one left untouched he can get any ability, and if yore chosen the one with type swap, you also add one move of his new type to it, but ONLY if it doesnt have ANY stab after type change, and in case you do - it should be weakest move of that type in terms of power. whitch can be both a boon and a curse, depending on a pokemon(in some cases rendering you without a 4th move for example, as the one you get are basically useless). 7 rounds of chosing, then pick 6 pokemon and battle.
Love this duo, you guys make some great content and it’s great to see you two together for a video! (PS, because they’re ShadyPenguin and Richard I headcannon this duo as named ShadyDick)
This was one of my favorite videos in awhile, I love the others too but the energy between you and rich was really entertaining. Thanks for the content!
Your videos have brought and continue to bring me so much joy! I remember discovering you when you played Duel links and I watched your stuff religiously until I myself stopped playing. I was in high school back then. And then I never saw another of your videos until late into college where I saw you in one of gameboyluke's videos and barely recognized you. Have been watching your videos religiously again since then and I am in my first year of getting a PhD. Life is rough right now, but I absolutely adore your content and cannot even begin to express how much you have helped me through stress and sadness. Thank you for everything Shady P, and I hope you know how much good you bring to the world!!!
Dev 1: "How can we make a game to drive Shady insane?" Dev 2: "We can add an accuracy mechanic where even a 99% chance to hit will always be a 50/50 for any account owned by Shady!"
I just recently started following Rich. Shady was the first Poketuber I subbed to back in his emo BW2 days with the blue bedroom walls (shoutout to the OGs). LOVE seeing these 2 finally collab. I’ve been waiting for it
Let’s go! Love Rich and glad Shady and Rich are recording together! I know people mess with him because Rich is relatively new to competitive battling, but he honestly has improved ALOT and it’s really cool to see!
Fun fact, I once had Darkrai as a rando Nuzlocke encounter. I absolutely DESTROYED him thinking he'd resist bug, you know, being a ghost type. My gf was speechless. "It's in his name!"
Shady missing the 95% Accuracy Air Slash to REALLY welcome a homie to his channel Shady somehow someway will prove that if it isnt 100% accurate it will always be a 100% miss when he needs it most
Very cool thumbnail! Must take inspiration from Dads Bein Dudes as Sceptile’s face is probably what Shadys face will look like whenever he gets his AC to work 😂
The script was unreal for this one! But seriously the back and forth was great, and the battles were killer. I think im gonna like seeing more Shady and Rich content!
I’ve only found you and people like Dylan recently. I just want to say I really love your content man and especially your personality. You’re so funny and seem like a genuinely lovely man too! Must be a great dad
battle idea with any twist... battle of information, three rounds you tell the opponent what Pokémon you have, three you don't (rounds of your choosing) you try and give information on rounds with weaker Pokémon that you pick and save the nice picks to yourself as a surprise.
Dude ive been loving all the then we fight content from the group lately but Shady's ideas are always so cool. This was a great idea and an absolutely insane group of battles! 🎉 Raid Edit: can we just say give it up for Rich with how awesome he has been playing in peoples vids lately?? Dude is killing it
5:58 I thought Darkrai was either dark, ghost, or both. Once someone told me he was dark type. Then I belived primary Dark with ghost secondary. Until I saw his pokedex. Then my ghostly dreams turned into a somber dark void. Where "HE" lurks today. "Darkrai"
This is actually a really cool idea for one of these. I’d love to see another video where each pokemon has its own rule for how you have to classify it.
5:55 Rich you're not alone in this, I too of age 29 thought DARKrai was a ghost type when I was a bit younger. 18:35 Rich PLEASE tell me you were joking........19:10 You weren't joking were you?
Man keeps a straight face on the manscaped ad with a Ewok on his face. Respect. Also did Rich seriously just say he thought "Dark"rai was Ghost type? Does he also think Gouging Fire was a Water type?
So excited for Rich to be on Shady’s channel! Plus, its so fun to see the sweet comments, but ow my heart- its so sad how many people down here in the comments are putting down different guys from the group- like- they’re still people? Treat them with respect whether you like them or not-

He said he asked about it at Dylan’s birthday event.
27:01 I'm so proud of Shady for figuring this out.
Same. He is good
I KNEW the Kyurem had illusion and my dumb ass was still sat there surprised at how hard Banette hits.
I checked via Pokemon Showdown. Banette learns Icy Wind, and no other ice moves, and then no ground moves at all. Shady realized this, hence that moment.
Shady: This pokemon has NO resistances & 1 immunity
Rich: Plusle the mono electric type
Thus is why Dylan still meme’s the new to the pokemon game every video they do 😂😂😂
I legit almost just slammed my face into my desk...
He calls his TH-cam Member the Plusers and his channel mascot is Plusle
That guess wasn't serious, lol
@@Digging_Ma highly doubt that. He has times where he's confused with different interactions across other videos lol.
there was an attempt lol
Rich rocking up with Levitate, Sap Sipper, Flash Fire and Water Absorb is absolutely nuts, and three of those actually turn weaknesses into immunities. You actually can't script that
With banette already being immune to normal and fighting .... The guy literally pulled up with 6 immunites
I mean you could probably definitely script that lol
@@bullworthlessobviously mr Einstein
Gotta be honest, the videos where you guys are extremely confused about the selection criteria are probably the funniest ones
Facts
Shady continues to be the best unluckiest battler I’ve ever seen. Dudes got the strats for days but gets cooked by rng consistently
Rich might not be allowed back after the way he played Shady with that Kyurem. 🤣
Oh no this is Rich's first and only time on Shadys channel😅
I mean that's the kind of play I'd imagine would get him back, the mind games make for good content which shady loves
This might not work as an idea but it just popped into my head now. Would it work if you both picked starters as normal but you swap the abilities with your opponent? So if someone got Miraidon and the other got Slaking, you’d swap Hadron engine with truant and have a Miraidon with truant and a Slaking with Hadron engine. If you get a broken Pokémon you may end up giving a broken ability etc.
Great video as always too! 🔥
Sounds Legit💯💯
@@wanderingwatermelon if they layer some other rules in there it could be entertaining, mind games and stuff 😅
wait, you are cooking some interesting dinner right there
did you also comment that on patterrz's video because this seem familiar? Nice idea tho!
@@eduardoyyxy I might of cos I’ve been watching them both for ages. Might have been on my other account
I too always thought Ghostrai was a ghost type
Thought ghost dark
I skipped the gen, so I had no reason to think otherwise for a long time.
Probably the funniest way to put it LMAO
and are you 70?
To be fair, he does look like a spooky ghost that floats around.
There could not have been a more Shady P way of ending that last battle
I just sat beside myself and said “that’s just so shady”
"Frio? Yeah... at full HP, man? At full HP?"
I DIED. That was so funny.
Name a better duo than Shady and missing 95% accurate moves
This is an incredible debut on the channel, great battles. And honestly I always love to see hazards in Then We Fights because the hatred they induce is so much fun when we have both the battlers talking to each other
Great battles 👍 The 'is this Kyurem' question made things pretty tense. Props to Shady for figuring it out before it was even revealed.
I also thought Darkrai was a ghost type, mainly because my first pokemon game was mystery dungeon... All ghosts can walk through walls and Darkrai as well :c
Shady being so traumatised by missing Thunder Wave that he gives his Thunder Wave users Wide Lense is incredibly funny.
And then he didn’t even go with Supercell Slam to benefit from the Wide Lens
There’s still the 1% miss chance 😬
Shady has been burned so much missing T-Waves that his mons are holding wide lens now lol
The best part is that he still lost the tie breaker due to a 5% miss. Shady will forever have the worst luck.😂😂
One of my friends did some streaming during lockdown, he was doing a HG/SS soul link with another friend. Mans got a Darkrai and killed it with a Bug move: he thought it was a *NORMAL* type...
Since then we've called it Normalrai. He will never be allowed to forget it.
Normrai flows better
@OtisCluck It does, but it also sounds like the name of some guy from Accounting.
Normalrai is a Pokemon
Norm Rai works a 9-5 at the IRS, only drinks unsweetened decaf tea - no more than 2 cups a day, and goes to bed at 9:30pm sharp (10pm on weekends).
In an alternate universe Rich grew up thinking Ghostrai was actually Dark type
1:00 I’m sorry shady. I can only subscribe once.
Just unsubscribe first that helps!
Rich coming out with a Stacked team of immunities is not what I expected for this showing
7:19
Wild charge? OVER SUPERCELL SLAM? ESPECIALLY WHEN YOU HAD WIDE LENS?
Bro burnt
I don’t comment often, but I gotta say if you’re a casual viewer, click the subscribe for everyone that’s in this pokemon group, they are the funniest people, and if you don’t subscribe the dad with the dent, whatcha doing.
I love that Rich ended up getting *4* pokemon immune to a type via ability is cracked. Amazing rolls
Trace Sheer Force Fake Out interaction is so funny 😂
TO BE FAIR
When I first saw the Raise of Darkrai movie, I thought he was a ghost type. He should be dark-ghost tbh. Anyway, super happy to see Rich on the channel. I love his energy 😂
18:38 I really thought Rich was going to clutch up and actually guess it right, all for him to say Plusle who has a resistance and no immunities 💀
9:27 and 9:37 Both rocking encore Destiney Bond from the same round xD
I love watching Rich learn here. He's getting strats.
Also sorry Shady, you betray the Munki, you getta the ice beam
Heres another twist on the idea. Opponent sees your pokemon, one he leaves as it is, and two others swap their types. Then yore able to chose based on type, and not knowing actual pokemon.

4:01 didn't know they would be talking about minecraft TH-camrs in this Pokemon video
First time watching Rich, consider this his audition for my long term viewership
That's a little entitled sounding ngl

The collaboration I’ve ALWAYS needed.
Shady and Rich are actually such a good pair to watch, very entertaining! Rich thinking Plusle has no resistances and 1 immunity is wild tho lmao
I thought by the thumbnail it would be "choosing starters by their typing, but two are swapped". could be a cool concept
Love this duo, you guys make some great content and it’s great to see you two together for a video! (PS, because they’re ShadyPenguin and Richard I headcannon this duo as named ShadyDick)

Its not a Shady video if he doesn't miss a game-changing move
52:03 Shady has to have the worst luck😂
Dev 1: "How can we make a game to drive Shady insane?"
Dev 2: "We can add an accuracy mechanic where even a 99% chance to hit will always be a 50/50 for any account owned by Shady!"
How is this Rich's first video on Shady's channel? They are SO good together.
Rich was a SICKO in these battles. Have never seen Shady so flustered
At this point seeing shady record with anyone other than Dylan is a breath of fresh air
I feel like Shady forgot his EVs again
Its crazy how rich went into the battle with levitate, water absorb, sap sipper, and flash fire
"I'll be seeding Rich" is a WILD statement out of context
Lmaooo Shady’s reaction to bowl head now is hilarious, never let him live it down 🤣🤣
I love how reverential shady gets treated 😂 but to be fair he is the GOAT
I just recently started following Rich. Shady was the first Poketuber I subbed to back in his emo BW2 days with the blue bedroom walls (shoutout to the OGs). LOVE seeing these 2 finally collab. I’ve been waiting for it
Oop homie forgot a word in the title
Also Shady do be the one to miss a 5% chance to miss move. Especially since he missed a ONE PERCENT CHANCE TO MISS MOVE BEFORE
Let’s go! Love Rich and glad Shady and Rich are recording together! I know people mess with him because Rich is relatively new to competitive battling, but he honestly has improved ALOT and it’s really cool to see!
You and Rich had surprisingly good banter, like you have with Luke and/or Patterz. This was really fun!
Shady P let’s gooooooooooooooo
27:55 this whole moment was incredible 😂
With such a close battle, it could only end with a sacky 5% miss. Truly a Shady video xD
Fun fact, I once had Darkrai as a rando Nuzlocke encounter. I absolutely DESTROYED him thinking he'd resist bug, you know, being a ghost type. My gf was speechless. "It's in his name!"
Rich racking up all the immunitys
Shady goes down 1-6 to illusion Kyurem only to fucking win anyways with literally just shaymin because why not 😭
19:24 Hey shady, that's you with a bowl on your head!!!
I found it so funny how Kyurem's neck just scrunched back down between 39:43 and 39:45. Some of these glitches are just hilarious.
Shady missing the 95% Accuracy Air Slash to REALLY welcome a homie to his channel Shady somehow someway will prove that if it isnt 100% accurate it will always be a 100% miss when he needs it most
I love that it both took shady so long and that he figured it out exactly in the end

You should do "We Choose Pokemon but They Only Have One Type"
Surprised Shady didn't use Supercell Slam instead of Wild Charge on Luxray, especially since he was holding the wide lens on it.
literally the father and young buck in the group, didn't know I needed this collab. I NEED a DbD with Rich in it series
Shady always worried to miss thunder wave and slapping a wide lens on the Mon always makes me laugh
Raid? Rave? Rage? Shady missing that 5%. Classic Shady. To quote MandJTV: If it isn't 100%, it's 50%
battle idea with any twist... battle of information, three rounds you tell the opponent what Pokémon you have, three you don't (rounds of your choosing) you try and give information on rounds with weaker Pokémon that you pick and save the nice picks to yourself as a surprise.

Edit: can we just say give it up for Rich with how awesome he has been playing in peoples vids lately?? Dude is killing it
He is getting better.
And Shady is throwing just as hard as always 😂
When I saw the thumbnail, I thought this would be you tell all the types of the pokemon, but you lie and swap two of the types with eachother.
New idea? Opponent picks a secondary type, and then you pick a pokemon. Or some version where you can pick/counter-pick
I hope rich and shady do more videos together. That was fun to watch
i gotta say rich is one of my favorites that the dads bring on their channels from how humble he is
5:58 I thought Darkrai was either dark, ghost, or both. Once someone told me he was dark type. Then I belived primary Dark with ghost secondary. Until I saw his pokedex. Then my ghostly dreams turned into a somber dark void. Where "HE" lurks today. "Darkrai"
Pat reacting to this with the lack of Darkrai knowledge is going to be amazing
One of the best videos shady. I’m happy you’re still here with us and did not go down after the nappy incident. Respect the dad life too!
Great video. Shady and Rich had really good compatibility.
Been waiting for this collab!
Tracing Sheer Force to turn off your own Fake Out was hilarious.
Shady getting the shuppet and hitmonchan back to back is SO scripted
I've been watching then we fight pokemon battles for years and these 3 had to bee the best I've seen. Keep up the amazing work and happy holidays
Holy balls, Skymin with Life Orb Sheer Force is terrifying. They're just a baby doggo, but also.... like.... murder.
They should add a difficulty tier to pokemon, Easy, Normal, Hard, Shady P where you miss about 75% of the 90% accurate moves
This is actually a really cool idea for one of these. I’d love to see another video where each pokemon has its own rule for how you have to classify it.
I actually thought darkrai was ghost too...but that was a long time ago
5:55 Rich you're not alone in this, I too of age 29 thought DARKrai was a ghost type when I was a bit younger.
18:35 Rich PLEASE tell me you were joking........19:10 You weren't joking were you?
Now we need Frank and Shady P!!!!
Saw that final Air Slash miss coming from a mile away 😂 Shady luck will always be Shady luck
😤😂😂😂 I don’t know what’s funnier. The illusion bit or the fact that I fell for it also.
Thumbnail artist is FANTASTIC.
Man keeps a straight face on the manscaped ad with a Ewok on his face. Respect.
Also did Rich seriously just say he thought "Dark"rai was Ghost type? Does he also think Gouging Fire was a Water type?
Typical Shady luck to end the video with a bang.
So excited for Rich to be on Shady’s channel!
Plus, its so fun to see the sweet comments, but ow my heart- its so sad how many people down here in the comments are putting down different guys from the group- like- they’re still people? Treat them with respect whether you like them or not-
